This lemon loaf is truly the most perfect Paleo Lemon Loaf...ever! It's made with a mix of almond and coconut flour to keep it grain-free, gluten-free, and light in texture. And it's bursting with fresh lemon zest in every bite. Drizzle this loaf with a lemony glaze made for the perfect spring treat!
Ingredients
Lemon loaf:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 very ripe bananas mashed (about 3/4 cup)
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 lemon zested
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Lemon glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon dairy-free milk
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper (greasing the inside first, so that the parchment paper sticks!).
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, mashed bananas, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the top is golden brown, then lightly cover with foil and bake for another 25-30 minutes. The loaf will be done, once a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar with the dairy-free milk and lemon juice - the consistency should be super thick! If it is runny at all, then add more powdered sugar.
- Once the loaf has completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the loaf.
- Slice and enjoy!
